How to Monetize a Website Without Using Google AdSense

1. Review your website with the eyes of a visitor. Place links strategically throughout your website pages that are easy to navigate and deliver a message that says 'Buy Now!'
2. Implement required changes in the navigational structure to increase accessibility for your visitors. Ask others to look through your website. Barring any huge changes, you're ready to begin to monetize your website with affiliate programs.

3. Research online options for affiliate programs Linkshare, Commission Junction and ShareASale are the big three in affiliate management programs. Also, if you have a favorite store, visit its site to see if it offers an affiliate program. Locate a standalone company that focuses on merchant and affiliate programs exclusively.
4. Collaborate with merchants that mesh with your current or planned content. For example, if you write a website about taking photos, then you'll want to join an affiliate program selling digital cameras and supplies.
5. Input your unique code that the merchants supply to you. This link allows you earn money from your affiliate program. The unique code is assigned only to you in either a banner or a text link format. You can often choose your design to enhance your website. Whether you joined a pay per sale or pay-per-lead program, the code is the same.
6. Test your links in both Firefox and Internet Explorer after you've inputted the code and uploaded it to your live website. Testing your links ensures the links work and that none of your visitors will have an issue clicking them.
